The Lost Vikings series are my favorite games whose premise is simple : team work with 3 different characters.
Each level and world offers new and unique challenge to tackle with team work.
My advices are:
1. Make small game and finish it.
2. Don't use AI. Code the game and make the assets yourself. Use free assets if you have to.
I had burnouts while working on my first beatmup and I still have them after making game. My solution is to take a break by playing some video games.

As I've posted yesterday, the feature to raise current blocks in Fire Leaf Water was buggy. I had to code new code to replace that cause the old one can't be salvaged.
I've made a feature to lift all blocks and spawn new blocks in both endless modes of Fire Leaf Water. The feature has glitch and broke those modes.
Fortunately, I've made new one to replace this broken one.
The biggest dev mistake I’ve made in the past of not adding a variety of enemies per level. I used the same enemy to increase their attack abilities per level like Tetris or Dr Mario in a 3d arcade fps. But was hurting the game play experience.

The best time that I know when a game is ready to ship based on the game's performance. Fewer bugs at times can be overlook if it doesn't disrupt the performance. But glitches is another problem when many onscreen enemies causes it.
I declare my games ready to ship based on these requirements:
